Common Sense Won In Arkansas

CBN News is reporting today that an ordinance that would have allowed transgender males to use women’s and girls’ restrooms, showers, and locker rooms in Fayetteville, Arkansas, was overruled by voters this week.

Michelle Duggar of the televisions show “19 Kids and Counting” campaigned against the ordinance.

The article reports:

Duggar argued that the ordinance affected “the safety of Northwest Arkansas women and children” because it would “allow men – yes, I said men – to use women’s and girls’ restrooms, locker rooms, showers, sleeping areas, and other areas that are designated for females only.”

“I don’t believe the citizens of Fayetteville would want males with past child predator convictions that claim they are female to have a legal right to enter private areas that are reserved for women and girls,” she said.

When it comes down to it, I suspect there are very few Americans comfortable with the idea of their teenage daughters using the same  restrooms at the same time as men claiming that they are female.
